This research evaluates high-resolution EC-Earth3 climate simulations for the North Atlantic and Arctic. Findings indicate improved representation of global temperatures but reveal a projected ice-free Arctic by 2040 and a 39% AMOC weakening by 2100. A new framework identifies the Labrador Sea as the primary driver of AMOC reduction.

This research explores the "fossil fuel–debt trap" in the Global South, analysing how sovereign debt and fossil fuel dependence reinforce each other across Colombia, Egypt, Guyana, Jordan, and Sri Lanka. It identifies structural barriers to energy transitions and proposes reforms, including debt cancellation and grant-based climate finance.

This Allianz Research report examines the economic impact of extreme heat, highlighting a sevenfold increase in heat stress events since the 1980s. It details non-linear productivity losses above 30°C, stagflationary macroeconomic risks, and significant fiscal burdens, proposing a three-pillar adaptation plan to improve labour, infrastructure, and financial resilience.

This report examines the intersection of nature and insurance, analysing 47 global case studies. It identifies an increasing trend in nature-related products, primarily focusing on risk transfer.

This World Bank report examines the historic energy supply shocks caused by the Middle East conflict and hostilities in Ukraine. Overall commodity prices are projected to rise by 23 per cent in 2026, with energy prices surging 32 per cent and metals reaching record highs. Risks remain tilted towards higher prices.

This research report explores the structural link between sovereign debt and fossil fuel dependence in the Global South. Through five country case studies, it demonstrates how debt obligations reinforce carbon lock-in. It calls for systemic reform, including debt cancellation and grant-based climate finance to enable a just energy transition.

The Energy Efficiency Progress Tracker by the IEA monitors global energy intensity and efficiency trends. It provides data for finance professionals to track energy transition progress, assess sectoral energy use, and evaluate alignment with international sustainability goals.

This report summarises a workshop of 35 experts discussing the integration of nature into macroeconomic models. It highlights that current nature-blind frameworks misprice risks and undervalue natural capital. Through case studies and transmission channel mapping, it identifies practical ways to embed ecological assets into core economic decision-making processes.

The Global Gender Gap Report is an annual series by the World Economic Forum tracking gender parity across 145 economies. It evaluates economic, educational, health, and political gaps to help finance professionals assess human capital risk, ESG factors, and long-term economic resilience.

The El Niño Heat Mortality Tracker projects heat-related deaths at a state and provincial level. Developed by the Climate Impact Lab, it helps users visualise the human toll of extreme temperature events to inform risk assessment and public health strategies.

The Nature Stocktake by BankTrack evaluates 30 global banks on their biodiversity commitments and exclusion policies. It provides finance professionals with comparative data on bank alignment with the Global Biodiversity Framework and exposure to forest-risk commodities.

This benchmark series reviews the progress of 36 large global banks on the low-carbon transition. Produced by the TPI Centre, it evaluates transition plans and decarbonisation targets using the Net Zero Banking Assessment Framework and Carbon Performance for Banks to measure alignment with international climate goals and the Paris Agreement.

This report provides guidance for governments to finance zero waste systems. It highlights fiscal benefits, including job creation and cost reductions of 66–75% compared to incineration. It details mechanisms like procurement reform and extended producer responsibility while identifying pitfalls such as capital-intensive debt traps and dependency on grants.

An open-access foresight collection by Sitra, providing frameworks for trend analysis, scenario building, and strategic decision-making to help professionals navigate and shape future economic and environmental landscapes.

The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database tracks international transfers of major conventional weapons from 1950 to the present. It helps finance professionals assess geopolitical risk and monitor the global defence market through consistent data on arms flows and procurement.

This report examines the 'Agribusiness Financial Complex', where global finance and industrial agribusiness prioritise shareholder profit over food security. It analyses the top 100 agrifood companies, highlights the environmental and social harms of financialisation, and advocates for a transition to a decentralised 'Peoples' Food Web' through agroecology.
